Gujarati font showing with square and question marks, how to remove these special characters?

Question

When I'm fetching rows from database, it's showing like below image

@surajkumar, I think that is problem of UTF-8 Charset Please follow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8156900/codeigniter-and-charsets which describe how to configure utf-8 charset in codeigniter — Haresh Kumar, Jun 25 '16 at 10:42

You are showing raw, set meta UTF-8 in your webpage for showing it

<head> <meta charset="UTF-8">

@font-face {
    font-family: gujarati;
    src: url(gujarati_location.woff);
}

Just should you Try it – Cristo Jun 25 '16 at 11:42
I have not only print it, i have to pass this as variable to fetch rows from other table – Suraj Kumar Jun 25 '16 at 11:52
Not displaying and passing a variable are to separate things. Try import font from css to display it. Detail what you have to pass as variable. – Cristo Jun 25 '16 at 12:05
I have to pass $book variable to fetch rows from database, book variable shown in above picture. when i pass this variable it doesn't match so i can't get the required data. – Suraj Kumar Jun 25 '16 at 12:12
That has nothing to do with not being showed if you are storing it correctly – Cristo Jun 25 '16 at 12:16
